Giant Red wood Ca USA Aug 2001

Was taken in Yosemite in CA USA Aug 2001. In the foot steps of Adams but I still think I

have a long way to go

Textured surfaces like this benefit from a more directional light. A grazing light from one side would cast shadows and emphasize the vertical dimension of the bark.

I realy enjoy texture images. I would have moved in closer to eliminage the yellow lichen from the upper left corner and the background is distracting. Side lighting would have helped bring out more detail in the bark.
